More on Barbaresco

On Sept. 11, we’re running a full review of the new Barbaresco Tuscan Grill & Enoteca but in the interim, here’s a bit of information about the new restaurant at 9715 San Pedro Ave. a few blocks outside Loop 410 where Maggie’s was once located.

The restaurant is owned by Michel Adib is from Guadalajara, who for a number of years has successfully run another restaurant by the same name there.

French-trained chef Erick Abrams, who was formerly chef of the Metropolitan in the Quarry Market, is heading the kitchen at Barbaresco.

The restaurant offers a modern take on classic Tuscan fare, served in a contemporary setting. A full bar is available.

According to a press release, Adib spent 2 years renovating the former Maggie’s location. “We fell in love with the location and just knew it was the perfect place for Barbaresco,” Adib said.
